This year’s event will be headquartered at the Evans County Recreation Department located 1.2 miles east of Claxton on Highway 280.  Physical Address – 11093 Highway 280 East, Claxton, Georgia 30417.  Some may remember that this is where Cruisin’ was hosted for many years prior to the move to the Evans County Public Fishing Area in 2021.

Route Options

Cruisin’ is a family friendly bicycle ride. It is not a race. Five different ride options will be offered to ensure there is a ride suited for each skill level. Whatever route you choose, you will travel roads with minimal traffic and enjoy the beautiful countryside. While riding, you will benefit from SAG vehicles patrolling the routes as well as our award-winning, friendly, themed rest stops located every 10 to 20 miles. Rest stops will be stocked with water, Power-Ade, and various snacks. In addition, port-a-potties and/or rest rooms, and hand-washing stations will be available at each stop.

Five route options will be offered: 18- mile, 35- mile, 50- mile, 65- mile and the 100- mile, “Royce Smith Century Route”. Smith, a former UGA All-American football player, passed away unexpectedly in 2004. A co-founder of Cruisin’, he will always be remembered as having put his heart and soul into building this event. Maps and cue sheets are available to download and will also be available for pick-up at Cruisin’ headquarters. You can also access route information via Active.com
